The ancient Greeks considered hubris to be a grave sin so watch for Beto to be punished severely by the gods. And one of the gods just might be his father-in-law warning Beto he better come home to his family or the money spigot will be turned OFF.

Thought the lily white cisgendered male Robert Francis O’Rourke had already returned to his day job of driving around in his van with his dog searching for clues of mysteries with teenage girls

Someone told this Beto jerk that he looks and sounds like a Kennedy from the 60’s and he’s running with it. Just my two cents.

Having a high-profile figure like O’Rourke say the Senate isn’t “good enough” for those looking to make change in Washington is a terrible message for other would-be recruits.

The 'press' and the democrat party ARE one...

I think that was a slip.

He may have a pair of gay jack boots. You know, for stepping on the necks of soon-disarmed conservatives.

...he stated that running for the U.S. Senate is not important enough for him

That after he lost the senate race in Texas.

After doing poorly in his presidential bid, he'll be saying that the presidency is not important enough for him, when he applies for a job at McDonald's.

When a candidacy has to reinvent, renew, remodel, restart, remake its campaign, it is basically over.
